My wife's has the same problem. Full charge can hardly last one day, only for few calls / Whatsapp / FB / 3G, with maybe 35% brightness. Last night, charge whole night only reached 50+%. Is this motherboard problem? How long is the warranty for the battery?

Motherboard issue not under handset warranty? What else could it be under?

I'm going to try another charger/cable and see if it fixes the problem. S3 seems to have a lot of problems huh...

Used another charger, seems to be ok. Must be either the adaptor/cable not working.

So, if someone with an relatively new S3 takes my faulty charger/cable (>6 months) to SC, will they exchange 1-to-1? I went to Samsung SC LYP yesterday at both 1pm and 6pm, the queue was very long

Can we change the stock lockscreen shortcuts? The ones at the bottom.

After a fresh factory reset, I ran Antutu benchmark, got 11xxx score. In the bar chart comparison, I saw S3 is supposed to get much higher. What happened?

How to prevent My Files from launching upon plugging in thumbdrive? Or, can customise what app to launch?

Why say ahem... it's not like imitation product are not allowed discussion in LYN, right? Unlike pirated apps.

Okay, rooted with CF-Auto-Root. To be safe, I'm trying to download the stock image so I can flash it back later to remove all root/custom traces. Searched for the firmware at http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares and click on the Download button but nothing happens... what to do now?

Okay, that works! Thanks a lot. This one uses Kies to flash, right?

Ah yes yes ok thanks.

Would like to comment on the Galaxy Charging app found in FP... helped me to pinpoint my charging problems, which culprit is the Samsung stock cable. When plugged into the PC, phone showed a message saying there is no app on the PC to sync with the phone, bla bla, and I cannot see the phone contents in Windows Explorer. Plugged in my 3 year old HTC cable and it's fine. Stock charger with stock cable has unpredictable charging output (which was shown in the app). Stock charger with HTC cable = steady charging. Of course, XDA pointed out that faulty stock chargers will spoil any cables used with it, so I guess I won't use the stock charger anymore...

Errm... I thought should flash back stock image to remove all root and custom traces before sending back to SC

Cannot lah, my phone over 6 months... warranty for chargers and cables are 6 months only, right?

Okay... will try it soon... but you know, the queue at Lowyat Samsung is crazily long... just bring phone and charger/cable?

How much? Charger and cable?

It is charging, but sometimes it is so slow, overnight maybe 10% only, and the battery discharges much faster. When plugged into PC, PC cannot see phone contents. These are my real experiences. I will try to go to Samsung LYP later to try for an exchange. Low chance of getting replacement since over 6 months already and my phone is rooted, but, I'll be guinea pig for you guys

Backup your important stuff. Every night copy out files with OTG. Sync contacts with Google. Backup SMS with apps, etc.

Went to Samsung SC LYP just now for cable replacement. They asked for receipt, I said didn't bring. Checked my eWarranty, said my phone was bought last July, so no more warranty for accessories. Oh well, at least I tried

Anybody with phone <6 months old can claim for me?

Is there any good ROM (least issues) which offers vanilla Android feel like Nexus series? If not, what's the next best ROM (stable and fast, less focus on customizations) without all the Samsung bloatware? If no better suggestion, I'll probably try ARHD...

Bro, which one are you using, then? I assume you like TouchWiz-based ROMs? Any good ones to recommend?

Thanks a lot. Just downloaded build 3 last night luckily 1xxMB only, small compared to ARHD and stock at 8xxMB. Gonna try it out tonight.

I use Dolphin purely for the Exit button.
